travelling home, saw the shopping mall and was surprised to find it all lighted
up and filled up with customers. Thinking that the mall was finally opened they
joined the rest of the customers. After spending the time happily shopping they
finally left but stopped at a relative’s house in Johor. The family proudly showed
their relatives the things they bought but found that it was only dried leaves
and twigs. The relatives mentioned that the shopping mall was abandoned for
many years.

been abandoned will attract the devils or demons (kediaman syaitan dan jin – Malay
translation) which will housed the entities.
